thank you card sample for my Card Challenge

For my next card sample for my current card challenge , it's Thanks to Susan once again for helping me discover Nicola's fab card sketch blog -another first for me ! Love her gallery of cards created based on her sketches too ! Great way to showcase everyone's wonderful work in one place !

Supplies : Scenic Route Sumner pps & date label , Fabric flower from Bangkok , Happy Hammer Sunflower brad

I can't say that these supplies are some of my top faves & I dont find them easy to use. Nevertheless I was happy with how this card actually turned out.

Surprising Weds - A Card Challenge by Me !

Inspired by my Australian blogging pal Susan who created a card for the PapertakeWeekly Heart's Desire Challenge & mistakenly thought it was a challenge set by me ,

I decided to create my very own & FIRST card challenge !

First of all in appreciation of all the card / layout challenges out there in blogging land , I must say Thank You so much everyone for keeping on creating new dares / ideas to tickle our papercrafting fancy !

I had a tonne of fun checking out new challenges this past week & finding new blogs to be inspired by !

As such my first ever card challenge is to create

either a Thank You card including the following embellishments -

flowers & brads but not of the usual kind that you would reach out for-

try something different & feel free to use other kinds of embellies too !

or

Create any kind of card with shades of Black, Pink & White .

No limitation on card size or shape !

There you have it ! I trust you will enjoy having a go at it !

For my card sample above , I used fabric Prima flowers with a velvet like quality & large word brads by ATB ( yes not the usual kind for me ! ) , Papers by Prima Marketing & DCWV's All Dressed Up 4x6" paper pad.

Don't forget to leave me a comment here with a link to your blog so we can all come by & check out your creations!!

This challenge will run for one week & do check back next Weds for a Surprise yet again ! LOL
